Had a visit to Resort World Sentosa last thursday during the evening with mum and the Hans.

We thought it would be good if we would just take a dinner and had a walk along Hollywood Boulevard since we are lugging two kids with us and also partly, we are not very keen in the rides. So paying $2 per person for just taking a walk inside and taking pics sounds pretty reasonable. For kids under age of 4 will be free. (Some pics are taken from Jo )

We went around for picture taking while waiting for time to pass as we could only enter the gate at 7 pm.

Lost in the mist ... ...

Xav's enjoying some bites of the ice-cream !

We visited the Hershey's Shop. Plenty of products on Hersheys !

Xav giving a a head butt to the Hershey's toy !

The two mummies monkeying around ..lol

The world greatest chocolate bar and Xav's for real !! And por por joined in !!

Afterwich, we had dinner at Hoe Garden. Ratings will be pretty low if I were to rate. Pricey yet not tasty. Three main meals with drinks and a side dish cost about $120 ?? and best part was Xav almost threw up eating the overcooked snapper ! The boy had his share of singing "Happy Birthday" song when he saw the cups with the bulbs in it. He imagined it to be a candle and started to sing.

First time been to the Navy Open House ! And I think I was even more excited than Xavier. Thanks to Weiguang and Jo for bringing us in without having to squeeze with others on the shuttle bus =)

We reached there as early as 7.30am ! The kiddos had their instant brekkie and off we went to explore the naval base !

We went all the way right in and Xav spotted the Bungee Jump and wanted to go for a try ! We distracted him and went to have their photos taken in the smart uniform ! As we didn't want to squeeze with the crowd later on !

Started with getting a tattoo !

Naval Officer in the making ! Xav's getting ready for his arm drill !

Edna's looking for her rifle while Xav' busy loading his rifle !

Is the rifle loaded ?Getting all dressed up for the photo shoot. Xav tried to help Edna put on her peak cap.

Aren't the lil' ones looking cute and smart !

Meet Captain Xavier !

Think Xav's a bit nervous ?

Make a check again ...

After the photo shoot, both Xav and Edna had the jumping castle all to themselves !

Am certain Xav was sure enjoying himself !

Finally, we went to fulfill Xav's desire to try on the bungee jump !

All set to JUMP !!

and Xav was enjoying so much that he was reluctant to go ! The officers there were pretty helpful in entertaining him by "bouncing" Xavier on the springy net !

After Xav's try, we saw a change in the rules for the Bungee Jump ! It stated "Not for children under 1.2 m !! We were like laughing away ! Xav could have spoil the market ! hahaha

Row Row Row your boat was next for Xav ! and Yes ! Jo told me he "jumped" boat while I was away ! Note the colour difference ?! He definately sure freaked out the officers on duty !

And this boy made me go up the LST with him !

I didn't know then LST was the biggest ship and what dreaded me was I have to carry Xav down countless steep flights !! What a "good" workout for my arms though.

Took a break after coming down from LST.

After LST tour, we went for lunch. Was not able to take the duck ride as the queue was super duper long !

We saw the performance by the SAF Band while on the way.

We couldnt find seats then, but stood by the railings, hoping to catch a glimpse of the show !

Saw part of the Rescue Ops Performance; the heli with divers onboard

Saw other exhibits like the Submarine

The Dinghy Frigate Met Stanley & wifey there ! Good heh ! Can work and spent time with family as well !

We called it a day after that to go back for nap ! Hope to visit the next open house again !
